badges of the French tti-color. Red,
too was the prevailing color with the
women. The trimmings in their hats
were red : ribbons of red were around
their threats; rosettcs Of rcd-some Of
them as big as sunhowers-wer upon
their breasts or pinned TO their
shoulders. While the saloons in the
ncichborhood were doing n poor trade,
the dry goods houses that had opened
thcir doors were literally besicged with
customers. and women crowded and tore

The most striking view of the process

lrwvcd corps of musicians, dressed IN
Oh. cOl0rs of the German army, and on
their heads spiked helmets were worn.
a, this band passed Zepts Hall,
which was opened and filed with drink
Boz. m,n. it struck up a dirge, as did, in

and Their, were nj least fifteen of them.
Following the first corps of musicians
walked the Defence Committee. the men
who bah charge of collecting the funds
with which t was hoped to save the An
ar.h,,s from their fate.
George a. Schilling led the commit
t... and carried in his hands floral
tribute. Following them marched, eight
a.reast, nearly 300 members of the Au-
ru Turn-Nerein, OF which August
SPIES was q member. The whole So

not In sympathy with Anarchy. -Four
hundred OF the NOrwaerts Turner So

covered with floral tributes that nothing

enough q show that, although he was
poor man. vet his tellow-Soclalists had
lUt failed 70 remember him; but for
some reason no red silk emblem OF has

il which were his remains.
Then came the funeral carriage OF Al

ine reason that TINS was the only floral
piece ON or IN the hearsc 1t attracted all
ie more attention. Then there
was another little thing about
Par.ons's coffin. Instead OF a great
sash of red thrown across 1t,
there was a simple strip OF red silk
ribbon. which was trailed carclessly
from the head OF the casket 10 almost the
centre, and was then strung along the
floor Of the hearsc until il wound itself
into a little heap at the feet. "lt IS sug-

ca locker. Then along came another CO.
hort Of tae Central Labor unions, butch
crs and bakers, and representatives OF
al sorts Of trades. Behind these were
drawn the hearscs OF George Engel and
Louis Iiugg, the suicide. They were
friends in lite and lived together and IN
